Lua TFS 0.3.7, NPC default speech, how to change?

[Xikini]

I use the below script for the starting of all of my npc's.
I want to change their default text behaviour, but I don't understand the npc system well enough to alter it.

I found the below/below information in data/npc/lib/npcsystem/npchandler.lua
However this obviously changes it for every npc, and not just npc to npc.

I've attempted to integrate that section into my actual npc, however my attempts are laughable at best, as I have no idea why, how, or where to place it, or even if that is the correct approach.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Cheers,

Xikini

If you had gone through the content of npchandler.lua thoroughly, you would have seen that you're presented with two options

npcHandler:setMessage(MESSAGE_GREET, "someGreetMessage")

<parameter key="message_greet" value="someGreetMessage" />

-- Edit --

Sorry, the XML approach can be found in npcsystem.lua and not npchandler.lua.

That's my bad, I actually wrote it wrong. Your correct it's npcsystem.lua not npchandler.lua
This works great for me. I don't have any problem adding the applicable lines into the xml document. xP

Thanks!
